Aug. 4th, 2009

Saturday night D went to drive the new car only to find the "check engine" light flashing and beeping etc, so we can't drive that, so he took the BMW instead which is having some issue we are not sure about.....

Anyway on the way home last night, the BMW kept stopping while mid drive...ie put the pedal to the metal and the car would cut out...sounds like a fuel pump thing to me and D with our limited knowledge of cars...so we left work at 5.00 and at 7.00 we were getting a tow off the freeway to my mum's house.

We were on the way home to take the new car back to the dealership, but that didn't happen, so our BMW is at my mothers house since it was closest to the freeway exit and under 8kms away (therefore free towing) and our commodore is also undriveable...so today, I have to walk to my mum's place and wait for a towie to get the BMW while D waits at home for the towie to come for the commodore, or vice versa.

Our original plan was to just drive the commodore to the dealer since it is only about 10 minutes away, however that was on the impression we could drive the BMW to get home again...since that is no longer an option, we have to get towtrucks again....for BOTH our fucking cars!!!
